yeh! our record is out! thank you to norman for helping us with mastering and thank you to heather for the work she's put into getting it out there. it's been a weird journey.

we did a couple of very enjoyable shows in dundee and aberdeen recently - there's nothing like shouting and hitting things. lots of lovely people.

we're working on spooky fairy tale songs at the moment. hopefully we'll be recording them soon. making music is so much fun. i love it.

gigs!

hi there -

see, told you we would be updating the website more often from now on, oh ye of little faith. have a look at the gigs page for news of some glasgow, edinburgh and london shows. desc will be all over the UK in may, so keep checking back for full tour dates.

and you haven't forgotten that you can buy "jack-in-the-box" in avalanche in glasgow and edinburgh and mono in glasgow, have you? very good. soon, you'll be able to buy it online from the bowl of frogs shop - we'll let you know when that's up and running.

it's been a long time

hello everyone-

we know, we know, we haven't been very good about keeping the site updating. but, it's hard. anyway, we have a new, easy peasy system for updating now, so we will be doing more often. promise.

and the big new is, the new desc album is out now! it's called jack-in-the-box and is available in good shops now. keep checking back here, and soon you'll be able to buy the album online.

some shows coming up soon - details will follow.

At the end of this month we are going to berlin to play at popkomm and to do a show at a literary festival.

We had a very good summer playing shows in germany and America.we played in new york and then a few places in north Carolina then we went to south Carolina and had a few days off.went swimming in a lake with snakes in it and drove across a bridge with a safety rating of 4 out of 100.it was all fun.then we played in Athens.then we went to Chicago and recorded our album with steve albini.it has turned out exactly how we wanted it to.it sounds like us.hopefully it will be released in the new year.

When we got back we did a couple of gigs in London with the starlets which went very well.now we are writing new songs.

We are no longer recording for sl records but we are all still friends and still rehearse in aluns room next to their office.
